We are frequent customers and every time we order, the food is absolutely amazing. Friendly staff that offer great service. The portions are generous and we always have left overs for the next day. We strongly believe in supporting local businesses as they are slowly fading away with these tough economic times....You should try them out, you will not be disappointed.

I will have to give this place another try with their items to take out, but my first experience was pretty average. I ordered a pad thai and it wasn’t tasty… liquid sauce, blend taste. For a 20$ plate of noodles I was expecting something better. Also, I understand seating places are limited, but using plastic containers and ustensiles negatively affects the on-site experience.

The food tastes good. However the meat portion is too small. I ordered curry paste a few times and I find the same issue. I ordered Pad Thai once with beef but end up finding almost no beef or bean sprout in it. I got disappointed and haven’t come back for a while.

Tiny family-run Thai restaurant. At first, we were a bit confused, as it has only two tables for dine-in, and part of the space is dedicated to shelves of Thai groceries, which you can buy. But we were impressed by the attentive service and the delicious food. We ordered two Tom Yum soups with shrimp, and a pair of spring rolls, also shrimp-filled. Despite its smaller size, the Tom Yum had a rich taste and perfectly fresh ingredients, leaving no room for desire. The spring rolls were large, generously filled, and the peanut sauce was exceptionally tasty. Owner’s kids were also around, helping to serve the food, which made us feel like at home.

Lovely service. Owner's kids running over and so happy to have a customer around which was really sweet. The man working there was really nice too and explained products for me. Prices are also fair. And food is great. Should get on UberEats/other grocery delivery if they haven't already! Specialty shops like this can really benefit from that. Especially in an area where its direct neighbours arent really seeking out that sort of food too often.

This was one of my favorite lunch places when I worked in Hull. I was happy to see that they now deliver to my neighborhood. The food is as good as I remembered. • The chicken spring rolls (Pow Pia Kai) were generously filled, well seasoned and still crispy. The homemade sweet chili sauce goes perfectly well with the rolls. The red chicken curry (Panaeng) remains my favorite dish on the menu. Veggies are perfectly cooked, the sauce is tasty and well balanced. The yellow curry (Gaeng Garee) was also tasty but the potatoes were a bit underdone. The frozen sauces are great options for homemade quick weeknight meals. • We will be ordering again very soon.

Great food, great portion sizes. I got the fresh rolls and red curry, and loved the peanut pieces in the curry and would recommend getting food here anytime. Order by calling the restaurant, to support more of the funds going directly to them. Lovely Thai family with friendly service to our local community.

It's very hit or miss. I visit occasionally but I used to do a take out from here quite often. I have found that sometimes it's amazing, like "I would travel from the other end of town to get this food" amazing. And sometimes, it's completely flavorless and kind of terrible. Maybe they have multiple cooks and some are just better? Also, they have increased their prices to the point where it's not a good deal anymore (especially because you never know if you'll have a good experience or a bad one). The lunch "special" just isn't a good deal anymore, and it's almost the same price as the dinner prices. So I'd say go, but if it's not good, maybe you had it on an off-day. If it IS good when you eat it, it's really good and worth the price. Otherwise, there are other Thai restaurants within a couple of blocks that you could try. I'm not really sure how often I'll keep going back. I want consistency.

Ordered by Skip the Dishes app and unfortunately Skip had no actual delivery person for the delivery, delaying the pickup time outside the branchs opening hours. The employee at the Poukham grocery store went out of his way to offer me the best service and ensure that I received my food in a reasonable time. The restaurants transparency and speed of action ensured that I didnt get to the point where I asked myself a ton of questions about delivery times. On the contrary, I was very well informed and I am very grateful for that. Despite the problem with skip the dishes and the delay caused by this poorly organized company. My food was very good and still hot! And this is thanks to the employees of the Poukham grocery store. I highly recommend! THANKS.

English review below In fact, there are many Thai restaurants in Korea, so I had no intention of coming here, but I happened to visit this place while looking for a place that was open during Thanksgiving break. By far the best Thai food Ive ever had. The portion size is a bit big for Koreans, but it is so delicious that they end up eating it so they dont have any leftover. The best Thai food I have ever had including in Korea. It s a bit a lot for me, but I couldn t stop eating this delicious food. They have run this restaurant for 40 years. Just try and have a great experience.

I bought a spring roll from Épicerie Poukham on the uOttawa campus and it was the most insulting roll Ive eaten. It is made almost exclusively with lettuce (see photos). They put some noodles on the side to make it look like there were some inside. Really cheap and I paid $6!

The place looks pretty good, however at the time I arrived 2:30 a.m. it had just closed there seems to be schedule changes depending on circumstances, not too much parking and there are parking meters. I looked at the menu displayed on a wall at the entrance, good choice of dishes, find out the size of the portions, the prices were between $12 to $20...does not seem to have wheelchair access. ! .Good day

My family and I went to the restaurant at least twice a year when it was located on Montcalm Street. I have never found anything comparable elsewhere in Quebec. I have to try the new location where you can only order take out. But I have no doubt that the food is just as good. :)
